I feel the same way and being a 'Generalist' mostly because of my ability to adapt any environment is both amazing and terrible. The terrible part is mostly because I got too many roles and zero help to grow (I'm often the icebreaker of a tech or role), which lead me to myself doing the actual criticism to ensure I'm doing my best. On the other hand this kind of continuous self-doubt is stressing, so reading a comment like yours is a relief :) Thanks for writing it :) |

I think I sail the same kind of ship as you, at work I'm like a jack of all trades and pretty isolated. Took me long to realize it wasn't my fault if management put too much on my shoulder and I have no peer to share with. It's a management issue if our bus factor is 1 on many project.
While I often get praise from my CEO the impostor syndrome is part of my daily routine.
Out of work, I'm currently in the process of finally releasing to GitHub a half-baked side-project I invested 100+ hours of personal time but was really too ashamed of to publish. It's not perfect, it'll never be and it's ok. Maybe it will even help me migrate to a better workplace.
Lot's of comment int his thread ring a bell for me!
Thank you all!
